Hello fabulous fourth grade families,
Merry Christmas! I am looking forward to learning many new concepts this week with this amazing fourth grade class!
Below you will find what we will be doing for each subject this week:
ELA: This week in ELA we will be reading our next class read aloud THe Last Holiday Concert, by Andrew Clements. We will be focusing on this novel for the next two weeks. Our skills will be characterization, and how a character’s viewpoint changes over time. We will be conferencing about our first essay, and will be reading in small groups.
Math: This week in math we finish module 8, multiplying multi-digit numbers. There will be a quiz on Thursday 12-7, and a test Friday 8. It is important to continue to review fact fluency at home to reinforce the skills taught in school. As always helpful videos and resources can be found on Google Classroom.
Religion: This week we will continue our study of the old testament lessons, focusing on Genesis chapters 28, the story of Jacob and has a dream.
Social Studies: This week in S.S. we start chapter 3. Colonial New York.
Science: In science we will be starting our second unit of study, Waves of Sound. We will be focusing on the question: How do you send a secret code?
Blessings,
Ms. Stainkamp
